Hello again guys, just a follow-up; the ip8500 has sorted itself out. I think one of the ink cartridges was bad as I kept printing as customers were happy with the prints although I stayed away from ones with lots of skin. But now, after a full set change it prints as well as the i9950. They're...
Hi Guys,
I've just bought an ip8500 after a disastrous experience with a PRO-1 (smashed to pieces by the courier)
The colours aren't right, it looks far too heavy on the magenta compared to my i9950. When it arrived the Red was blocked so I left in cleaning fluid overnight to soak, but that...
Just like to say thanks again to The Hat!
I cleaned my i9950 inc the bottom sponge and no more marks under the paper. I may even hold off on purchasing a new printer now until a good deal comes up on the Pro-1.
I have AC in the shop so that keeps it fairly dry as it goes through a de-humidify stage every few hours.
I might try and find a shelf thing rather than a trolley. I do enjoy buying things, I enjoy it more when they are a business expense too :D
I find with a mix of A4, A3, 5x7, 4x6 plus the laminating pouches and paraphernalia stacking them all on top of each other isn't working well.
I wondered about something like this:
Possibly going to hold out for a PRO-1 now. There doesn't seem to be much of a price difference, but I think I'll appreciate the higher capacity ink carts.
Wow, thanks. So much great info there.
I have had the i9950 apart before (ref age, it was introduced in 2006 according to the internets?) so feel confident I could clean up the purge area without too much drama. But may give it a go on the fly just through the access door. I didn't know the...
Awesome replies guys thanks!
Roy, points noted, but I'll be keeping the i9950 for a while so that will be my backup. Currently running without any backup so this can only be better.
"Hat", great shout, can I ask how it keeps it cooler? Does it print slower etc?

Hi Guys,
Paper related - what do you use for storing all the different types of paper you use? I only have 3 or 4 different sizes & weights and am already struggling to keep them from getting damaged (in a busy workshop) and am about to start getting into semi-gloss and matt finishes too, so...
Hi Guys,
I run a small computer shop that also offers a photo printing service. I'm currently using an ageing i9950 which I love, but is giving me problems now and then (see my other thread) and am wondering whether to buy the Pro-100, it can be bought fairly cheaply second hand nowadays. I'd...
Hi Guys,
I'll start by saying I appreciate this is a 10 year old printer model now, but I really hope someone still has knowledge of it. I bought it second hand 3 years ago and it's been an absolute workhorse. Printing easily 100 photo's a week ranging from 4x6 to A3. Sometimes it can run off...
